Dr Mar Yulios who was able to build a close rapport with the Grand Mufti who he said was a deeply scholastic person. Recollects Dr Mar Yulios: “The Grand Mufti knows many of the theological controversies that occurred in Christianity during the first four centuries and clarified many of those things.
